"I can't tell you any more than any other writer can tell you why they write, and I don't know what my influences are."
Writing
"I have been a reader of Science Fiction and Fantasy for a long time, since I was 11 or 12 I think, so I understand it and I'm not at all surprised that readers of the genre might enjoy my books."
Science
"From the beginning, the series has been story driven - I began with a story idea - but research feeds it."
Creativity
"I have heard Science Fiction and Fantasy referred to as the fiction of ideas, and I like that definition, but it's the mainstream public that chooses my books for the most part."
Science
"I could write historical fiction, or science fiction, or a mystery but since I find it fascinating to research the clues of some little know period and develop a story based on that, I will probably continue to do it."

"I'm just writing a story that I want to read."
Want
"Aside from sales, the letters from readers have been primarily positive."
Positive
"Science Fiction is not just about the future of space ships travelling to other planets, it is fiction based on science and I am using science as my basis for my fiction, but it's the science of prehistory - palaeontology and archaeology - rather than astronomy or physics."
Science
"My fiction is reviewed by the mainstream press, by science fiction periodicals, romance magazines, small press publications and various other journals, including some usually devoted to archaeological and other science material."
Science
"No, my publisher has always done the marketing."
